Elm mate
It is enjoyable process, I will be doing this again.
Steve has a flashy tool, god knows what it is called but it works well.

 

[Weasel Howlett]

I'm intrigued to know about Steve's flashy tool? (ooh err missis)
What does it do?

 

[Orcamesh]

Most splendido Rich! Indeed what is this tool of Steves? :lol:

I know its quite a simple shape, but im drawn to that chamfered edge on the lid for some reason.

Looks good !

 

[richburrow]

I have had a look and can't find a pic, Steve will sort us out later I am sure.

My, that looks a beauty mate, even nicer in the flesh so to speak..
I am glad you came over and really pleased you enjoyed yourself, thats twice in 3 weeks you know, folks will start talking.. :lol:

I dont have a flashy tool at all, (well the wife has never said), what i do have is the Len Grantham ring tool, and yes i agree, it does work very well indeed. Its from Ashley Isles and you can find it here.

I use an ordinary ring tool for boxes and it works a treat but that one looks a lot better designed. Haven't seen them for sale. Where could I get one anyone know? Be ideal; for my goblets as well.
